the street and fleet maintenance tasks are now completed with a half time Street Superintendent, <br />Assistant Street Superintendent, and a lead worker. <br />My partial retirement has identified the need for changes in the management within the Streets <br />Division. As Mark and the lead worker pick up more of these management duties their time in <br />the field working on tasks becomes more limited. This is the reason we first approached the <br />Council in May requesting a laborer position be filled. Until I fully retire in 2013, I would <br />recommend that the City Engineer also serve as the interim Public Works Director to stream <br />line the number of Division Managers that report to the City Administrator. In January of 2013, <br />the City Council can evaluate the City Engineer/Public Works Director position to decide if it <br />should become permanent or revert back to two separate positions. <br />r <br />__ <br />~l~__ <br />3 <br />~, , , <br />- -- _ _ . <br />~. <br />._ _ <br />_ _ <br />- <br /> ~ <br />i t f <br />~ I <br />i <br />Under this structure the Street Division is not directly responsible for the Fleet Maintenance, but <br />rather they would be a separate division under the Public Works Director. Under this structure <br />a Public Works Director would have the responsibility to complete some of the overall Street <br />Division management. The Street Division could then be managed internally with a Street <br />Superintendent and a lead worker. This reorganization would eliminate the need for an <br />Assistant Street Superintendent in 2013. <br />Street Division Tasks: <br />Understanding we are moving toward a Street Division that will be managed by a superintendent <br />and a lead worker we have to look at the positions within the division to assure all work tasks <br />can be completed. The Street Division is tasked with an immense amount of work throughout <br />the year. Below you will find a list of various jobs completed by the Street Division during each <br />season. Most of this work needs multiple workers in each crew, three to six workers is very <br />typical for most street job tasks. Some tasks, most notably our crack seal program, can use up to <br />ten crew members. An average snow event requires sixteen operators. <br />N:\Public Bodies\City Council\Coundl RCA\Agenda Packet\07-11-2011\Street Dept Restmcturing.docx <br />
